Based on the ideas of the attached document, we are generating a hierarchy of products with inheritance of product attributes.

The idea is to share attibutes as much as possible, modelling the reality in a way similar to prototype object systems. Let say for example you define a car, with atributtes like motor type or number of passengers, sharing this attributes in all cars.

Additionally, products attributes could be declare in a higher point in the hierarchy, but concrete defined in leaf products. Using the cars example, at the car level you can define a brand attribute, that will be defined in the specific cars low in the tree

This could be very helpful in large collections, where the attribute values are defined once and in only one place for many products, like for example colours for t-shirts.

I am attaching the module, since it is not published till now. Any comment or suggestion will be appreciated
